7 Things 'Sex And The City' Fans Are Tired Of Hearing

Carrie Bradshaw and the rest of the Sex And The City crew are inescapable icons, but that means their fans tend to deal with a lot of idiocy. Curious to know what this fandom is tired of hearing? Here are 7 things that should stop being said ASAP!
1. "Ugh, you're a fan of that show too? How cliché!"
Giphy
If you're coming across so many fans of the show, it's probably because it's good.
2. "Sarah Jessica Parker isn't pretty."
Giphy
Shut your mouth, she is gorgeous and an icon!
3. "The second movie was terrible how can you like Sex And The City?"
Giphy
You do know that there was a TV series and a first movie, right? Obviously it wasn't all bad to make it that far.
4. "Are you one of those people who move to New York City because of you watched that show?"
Tumblr
I'm sure no one has ever made a major life discussion based on one show, so just stop!
5. "Kim Cattrall was too old to play a sexual character like that."
Tumblr
Funny, do you say the same thing about old male characters who don't look half as good as her, yet magically get laid all the time?
6. Oh, so does that mean you watch Girls?
Tumblr
Stop comparing the two, they have very little in common.
7. "Stop trying to be like Carrie Bradshaw."
Tumblr
If that means I'm trying to be Carrie Bradshaw, then so be it!

As my friend and I argued for the third time this week about whether or not Aiden was the best boyfriend Carrie had (he's so not), I couldn't help but wonder, are we addicted to Sex...and the City? Here are some signs that you might be:
1. You become outraged when someone claims Aiden &gt; Mr. Big:

In what universe?!
2. And when someone tries to convince you that your love life is not "just like Carrie's":

3. When your friends suggest a SATC marathon:

4. When your friends suggest literally anything remotely social:

5. When you look outside and know you have to brave the polar vortex:

I'll just stay in bed and watch some Sex and the City.
6. When someone tries to tell you that they're the Carrie of their group:

7. When this no longer seems like an unreasonable fashion goal for a night out (did it ever?):

8. Whenever you hear anyone say "abso-fucking-lutely":

9. When you realize you've been quoting this show for 17 years.

And it's still relevant (and you're not an old maid; you're still thirty-faux).
10. When you hear there might be a third movie, and you're excited and dreading it all at the same time:

You'll talk about it nonstop and your boyfriend will just never get it.
11. When yet another of your friends gets engaged and you fake happiness, but really you're mentally ordering 6 more cosmos:

I'm sure your love is not as strong as mine and this martini's.
12. When your boyfriend asks if you ever just stop watching SATC?

So, are you addicted to Sex and the City?

Yeah, we thought so.

Rihanna splashed out $135,000 (£84,000) at an auction to benefit AIDS research at the star-studded amfAR Inspiration gala in Los Angeles on Wednesday (29Oct14).
The Diamonds hitmaker bid $100,000 (£62,500) on a vintage print of late actress Dame Elizabeth Taylor, the co-founder of amfAR, and $35,000 (£22,000) on diamond earrings during the benefit event.
Justin Timberlake bought a Damien Hirst painting, while Miley Cyrus, who almost exposed her breasts in a bondage-style outfit, also bid on a print.
All donations help fund amfAR's AIDS research programs.
Gwyneth Paltrow hosted the gala and Cyrus made a speech about raising AIDS awareness. Rihanna later took to the stage to present the night's honouree, fashion designer Tom Ford, with his Inspiration Award. He was given the honor in recognition of his career and his commitment to fighting the AIDS crisis.
Guests, who spent at least $3,000 (£1,900) on a ticket, also included Sharon Stone, Milla Jovovich, Kelly Osbourne, Lea Michele, Eddie Redmayne, Michelle Rodriguez, Kristin Davis and Kat Dennings.

Lately Sarah Jessica Parker has been toying with Sex and The City fans’ heart strings by hinting at a third movie installment of the series.
You maybe groaning at the idea due to the disappointment of the second one, or if you are a die-hard fan you could be jumping for joy. I personally fall into the latter, but I am realistic. The last movie made some huge mistakes, but to help the creators we have a list of mistakes that need to be avoided if they want the 3rd movie to be a huge success!
1. Don't have the movie take place anywhere other than New York City.
pissymissy.tumblr.com
The city is practically the fifth main character of the whole series. The second movie felt so off because that character was taken away. We need cabs, we need the fashion, and we need crazy run-ins with other New Yorkers.
2. Don't throw in superficial drama that isn't relatable or funny.
ally5.tumblr.com
The first movie was fantastic because the problems were real. Women can relate to being with a man who has commitment issues. Women can relate to finding out their husband cheated on them. Women can relate to being in a seemingly perfect relationship, but still not being happy. The fluff in the second movie where Charlotte and Miranda were talking about how hard it is to raise children with nannies during the recession was not relatable.
3. Don't erase all the growth and progress these characters have made
divialiscious.tumblr.com
Another blunder made in the last movie was that while everyone has seemed to keep moving through life and growing, Carrie on the hand slid back into her old ways. The writers decided to stir up trouble in Carrie and Big’s happy life by putting Aidan into the mix. Carrie was terrible to him by cheating and they decided having her cheat with him would somehow be compelling. It’s not and it just made Carrie seem like she will never change.
4. Don’t let the glam outweigh the substance
pink-queen-988.tumblr.com
The brand certainly involves the more glamorous life in the city since it started before the recession, but it still had heart. Many women were able to connect to one or two of the main characters and their struggles with love. The last installment had all of flash however without any of the heart.
5. Don’t overlook minor characters for plot inspiration
samanthaknowsitbetter.tumblr.com
In the television series, the relationships that the girls had weren’t the only focus in the show. Carrie was often inspired by minor characters’ love lives for her articles. Instead of forcing drama between the four girls and their significant others, perhaps we can turn our attention to Anthony and Standford. Aren’t they supposed to be having an open marriage? Perhaps Carrie should try and tackle if that kind of thing works.
Of course even if they followed all these rules it doesn't mean the next movie will be destined to be a success, but it will be a vast improvement! These characters are so dear to so many that it's hard to give up on them.
But what do you think? Do you think there are any other mistakes that should be avoided for the next movie? Follow us on Twitter and tweet us your thoughts!

"I don't think either of us thought that anybody would be thinking it was, like, so groundbreaking or earth-shattering... There's discussion... We're in the hopeful phase, I think... All of us... want it to happen, but I don't know if they (studio chiefs) are gonna greenlight it." Actress Kristin Davis insists there are still no firm plans for a third Sex And The City movie, despite recently teasing fans about the project during a Twitter exchange with co-star Sarah Jessica Parker.

Sex And The City star Chris Noth has dismissed rumours a third movie based on the hit TV show is on the way, branding his former castmates "naughty" for tweeting hints to fans.
The show's former star Sarah Jessica Parker hit headlines earlier this month (Oct14) when she shared a cryptic exchange with castmate Kristin Davis on Twitter, asking her whether she had heard "the news". Davis responded by adding, "Yyyeessssss (sic)..... But I'm afraid to get TOO excited yet - You let me know when we can celebrate." Parker's former onscreen love interest Noth, who played Mr. Big, was asked about the gossip during an interview with Australia's News.com.au, and he insisted he does not believe the rumours about a possible third film.
He says, "Is there going to be another movie? The tweets! I can't believe those girls are tweeting, they're being very naughty. I don't go near Twitter, it's all bulls**t. I'll believe it when they say 'Action!' and until then I don't pay any attention. Sure, I've heard rumours, but they've been sayin' that s**t for 10 years. It'd be a great thing, but for now it's all just Tweety-pie s**t... I don't know how you'd reinvent Sex and the City, and I don't understand the hunger for it from some people. You've got (TV show) Girls now, which is much tougher and more realistic... I'm not sure there'd be an appetite for it? It's kind of had its day." The long-running TV show was adapted for the big screen in a successful self-titled movie in 2008. It was followed by a sequel in 2010, but the follow-up was savaged by critics, who branded the film "repugnant", "repulsive" and "ghastly". Noth adds of the much-maligned Sex and the City 2, "I think it was considered an indulgence and a distraction because it hit right when the recession happened. People were like, 'Who gives a f**k about these broads going to Dubai when we can't pay our mortgage?'... The critical response was overwhelmingly negative... there was not one good review of that film. Not one. And I think it was very hurtful for the girls... (It) was flawed, yeah, but it wasn't as bad as they made it out to be."

Sarah Jessica Parker and Kristin Davis have fueled rumors suggesting a new Sex And The City sequel is in the works by teasing fans with an exchange on Twitter.com.
The actresses are reportedly preparing to reunite with Kim Cattrall and Cynthia Nixon for a third movie adaptation of the hit TV series, which centered on Parker's sex columnist character Carrie Bradshaw and her three best friends dealing with love and life in New York City. Film co-star Jennifer Hudson raised fans' hopes last week (ends03Oct14) when she let slip that plans for a new film is in the works, saying, "I think it might be (happening). Somebody just came to me talking about that. So if it's in the talks, it might happen. So look for it and look for your girl Louise from St. Louis!"
And on Friday (03Oct14), Davis posted a photo of herself and Parker on Twitter, alongside a message to her pal, which read: "Miss YOU XOXOXO!!". Parker, who also served as a producer on the first two films, released in 2008 and 2010, replied, "Me too you (sic)!" and then she appeared to suggest Sex and The City 3 was planned by teasing, "Heard the news?", to which Davis responded, "Yyyeessssss (sic)..... But I'm afraid to get TOO excited yet - You let me know when we can celebrate." However, it seems Cattrall has yet to be told the news - when asked about a possible third installment by a fan on Twitter on Saturday (04Oct14), she wrote, "News 2 (sic) me... Rumors like this are flattering."

Hugh Jackman, Whoopi Goldberg, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kelly Osbourne were among the stars who mourned the death of legendary comedienne Joan Rivers at her funeral in New York on Sunday (07Sep14). Record mogul Clive Davis, actors Matthew Broderick, Rosie O'Donnell, Alan Cumming, Kristin Chenoweth and Bernadette Peters, funnywoman Kathy Griffin, fashion designers Oscar de la Renta, Carolina Herrera and Michael Kors, property mogul Donald Trump and newswomen Barbara Walters and Diane Sawyer also turned out to pay their final respects to Rivers, who was remembered in a private ceremony at the Temple Emanu-El synagogue, where she was a member.
Hundreds of fans lined the streets outside the temple as inside, U.S. shockjock Howard Stern delivered a touching eulogy to the comedic icon, crediting her with fighting "the stereotype that women couldn't be funny".
He even managed to raise a few laughs from guests by quipping, "(Rivers was) the best friend in the world... a big sister... a crazy aunt at a bar mitzvah."
Broadway star Audra McDonald performed Nat King Cole classic Smile, before additional tributes from news anchor Deborah Norville, New York Post columnist Cindy Adams and Rivers' only child, daughter Melissa, who thanked everyone for their condolences, saying, "We are humbled."
X-Men star Hugh Jackman helped to bring the ceremony to a close, honouring Rivers' memory with a rendition of Peter Allen song, Quiet Please, There's a Lady on Stage, which features the repeated lyrics, "Put your hands together", while a band of bagpipe players performed as mourners filed out of the temple.
Rivers died on Thursday (04Sep14), a week after suffering a cardiac and respiratory arrest during a routine throat operation.
The exact cause of death is still under investigation after an initial autopsy proved inconclusive.
The 81 year old's body had been cremated on Saturday (06Sep14), ahead of Sunday's funeral service.
Reports suggest she will be laid to rest at Forest Lawn Cemetery in Glendale, California, where fellow late icons Michael Jackson, Clark Gable and Walt Disney are also interred.
Rivers' publicist has asked for donations to be made to her favourite charities, meal delivery service God's Love, We Deliver, Guide Dogs for the Blind and California grief support centre Our House, in lieu of flowers.

Actress Monica Bellucci is set to star in an Italian version of the Fatal Attraction stage adaptation. The 1987 classic thriller, starring Michael Douglas and Glenn Close, was turned into a stage production earlier this year (14) when it opened in London, with Natascha McElhone playing the bunny-boiling stalker and Kristin Davis as the man's betrayed spouse.
Although the play fell foul of critics initially, its producer Patrick Ryecart insists the project is pulling in healthy audiences, and Italian actress Bellucci has reportedly been tapped to star in a version in her native country when it opens in Rome.
It is not clear if Bellucci will play the obsessive jilted lover or the leading man's wronged wife, nor when the Italian production is expected to launch.

Appeared with Kelly Ripa and Adam Frost in the TV Movie "Someone to Love"

Summary

A high-energy actress with girl-next-door appeal, Kristin Davis evoked both innocent and evil to great affect in her numerous film and television roles. Her breakthrough arrived in the form of the scheming, rich brat Brooke Armstrong on "Melrose Place" (Fox, 1992-99), a character so universally reviled that writers whipped up a shocking death for her after one season to appease angry fans: drowning in the famous pool after a drunken monologue where she verbally decimated the other apartment dwellers. Ironically, Davis actually became a bonafide star by playing a character who was the polar opposite of Brooke - the sweet, uptight Charlotte York on "Sex and the City" (HBO, 1998-2004). As the youngest and most naïve of the famous foursome, Davis had the chance to play both comedy and drama during her run on the immensely popular show, as well as in the 2008 film version. After a few unchallenging roles in family films and comedies like "Couples Retreat" (2009), Davis returned to her most famous role with the worldwide smash "Sex and the City 2" (2010). With the security of her success, Davis continued to choose projects selectively, showing a strong preference for family-friendly fare.

Notes

"The [character] breakdown said that she's very well educated, she has impeccable manners, she's wealthy, she has this lovely facade, but she has the heart of a shark. I thought, 'Cool.' That's fun when you have different layers to play. It's not fun – as far as I'm concerned – when you either have a victim, or a bad girl who's always bad. That's boring, if that's the only note you're given to play." – Davis on taking the role of Brooke on "Melrose Place" (Fox), quoted in the Daily News, Feb. 5, 1996
